Good description, right now there is a 90 % discount on steam sale, so I didn't mind the amateur feeling. It was made by someone who has actually been playing Another World, but lacks the craftsmanship of Éric Chahi, but the wacky story made me chuckle a couple of times. I hope there will be a sequel, which is mentioned at the end. I'm tempted to do another Let's Play.

You know the game is bad enough when it includes a walkthrough on the Steam page. I watched said video, it looks quite prosperous and not really fun. If you want prosperous but fun experiences, I recommend Four Last Things:

It's a point-and-click adventure, if it's not obvious.

I regret I can only give one :obviously: rating for this.

BTW, you should have Titus up front, as a Paladin in lead is supposed to improve the party's saving throws.
Are you playing the original DOS version? Or does the Legacy option of the remake come with original artwork?
I'm playing The Bard's Tale via glorious Amiga emulation. +M

The emulator's turbo function is quite useful when casting offensive spells that hit 396 berserkers in a row. :M

Heh, I should have recognized it. After all it was the version I completed the game with.
But the Hunter was bugged in the Amiga version. There was an "overflow" bug, where his critical chance would reset every 16th level.

I tried to play BT2 with an Amiga emulator, though, but it was maddening how every time you kicked in a door the game would take a few seconds to load the graphics from disk instead of from memory, so I gave that up.

A game where you play as giant crabs? GOTY.

Are samurais a playable class?


More importantly: Name please?
Who cares about samurais when you got LOBSTERS, CRABS AND BARNACLES, IN A WILD WATER WORLD THAT EXCEEDS ALL HUMAN SENSE.


Also we need a Codex Crab League because I want to see the absolute chaos of 4-player matches online with my own eyes.
